Brief description Seminal findings within our laboratory have demonstrated that disturbances of blood flow are an important trigger for blood clot formation, promoting heart attacks and stroke. Our studies have demonstrated that specialised blood cells, termed platelets, respond rapidly to local changes in blood flow in diseased blood vessels. In the present proposal we aim to identify the mechanisms by which platelets sense and respond to blood flow disturbances with the aim of identifying new approaches to prevent disease-causing blood clots.
